Just Breathe CU

Helping girls build confidence, regulate emotions, and feel safe being themselves.

What We Do

Just Breathe Girls Summer Camp A half-day outdoor summer program in Champaign, Illinois, designed for girls in 1st–5th grade to develop emotional wellness tools, build self-confidence, and connect with a supportive community. At Just Breathe Girls Summer Camp, ew work to support young girls in building a strong emotional foundation early in life.

In a time where bullying, anxiety, and low self-esteem are affecting children at younger ages, we are creating a space where girls feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Through simple, practical tools, we help girls:

Understand and manage their emotions
Build a positive self-image
Develop confidence in who they are
Learn how to navigate friendships, bullying and find their tribe

This is more than a summer camp—it’s a space for growth, healing, and becoming.

🌼 Confidence Comes from Within

We don’t focus on external validation—we help girls build a strong sense of self from the inside out.
Confidence isn’t something they have to chase—it’s something they learn to develop.

🌸 Emotional Skills Should Be Taught Early

We believe girls shouldn’t have to wait until they’re overwhelmed to learn how to handle their emotions.
We introduce simple, age-appropriate tools early—so they can grow with confidence and clarity.

💛 Every Girl Deserves to Feel Safe Being Herself

We create an environment where girls don’t have to shrink, perform, or fit in to belong.
They are accepted, supported, and encouraged to show up as they are.

🌿 Simple Tools Create Lasting Change

We keep everything practical and easy to apply.
If a child can’t use it in real life, it doesn’t serve them—so we make sure it does.

🌸 Every Emotion is Welcome

We teach girls that there is nothing wrong with having big feelings.
Instead of suppressing emotions, we help them understand and move through them in a healthy way.

🌼 Growth Happens in Supportive Community

Girls are not meant to navigate life alone.
We create opportunities for connection, healthy friendships, and a sense of belonging.
